Well maybe, but what about the international crowd on this board???????????

Never heard of it.

That's because of copyright issues. Most of the contemporary (to us viewers) 20th century music is still copyrighted, and the studio didn't want to shell out the money to have it appear on the shows. Thus, the non-copyrighted classical music.

Thank you KTR. ;-)

Personally, I really don't like FLA and I have very good reasons not to like it. There is only so much physical and psychological torture a girl can go through in one state, and then you don't want to go back. But I've been in several parts and it seemed diverse enough. To make me think Trip has a lot of options in the influences of his life, to form his tastes. We do know he spent time in the "south" northern part of FLA, and he spent time in keys... So he could certainly appreciate all of the options.

However, what food he likes, and the type of music he likes are not necessarily contingent on geography. And they really have very little to do with the topic.

Honeybee think the difference i Pie was used to differeniate between Trip and Sim. In the scene in T'Pol's quarters after the Clone admits his feelings he says "I don't know if they are mine or his" Which means that Sim and Trip are now two different entities in the clone. so the Pie was a factor which I belive Coto deliverately put in.

Sactually it is a shame that Sims musical talents was not displalyed. could Sim play the Harmonica? Sim was NOT Trip he had Trip's memories but perhaps that was al.l Not Trips abilities like pllaying the Harmonica.

Yeah lots of carribian there but it is part of the culture. And come on don't Y'all think Trip can salsa. ;-) And interestingly enough, occasionally you will hear a harmonica.

Yeah ... I grew up in Florida and I'm not a fan of any of those music types you mentioned so I don't know if the argument stands. Plus, it honestly seems like the only music that continues to exist in the Trek verse is classical - can anyone point me to a single instance (apart from the jazz in "Fusion" which is the sole exception I can think of) when they're listening to human music and it isn't Berlioz or Mozart or Beethoven? I can't think of anything resembling rock, or country, or rap, or ... well, you get the point.

As to Trip's tastes being "bland," again, I've got to play Devil's Advocate because, as a native Southerner myself, his tastes pretty much mirror mine (except catfish - I can't stand catfish.)

Also, there was an early episode of TNG when they unfreeze some 20th Century people and one of them is a country singer. It seems like the crew is at least familiar with the genre.

And, DS9 has the whole Rat Pack lounge holodeck stuff - but they invented a stand in for Dean Martin, since the real Martin's catalog would have been too expensive.
